AN UNLIKELY ROMANCE
INTERTITLES
While beginning titles roll actor names, etc., characters are packing car, chatting with friends, etc. In preparations for the fashion show. They're all super excited and really innocent, not as mean as they develop throughout the film.
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - ESTABLISHING - NIGHT
Spring Break. WIDE ANGLE on a white large sorority party house with Greek lettering: CHI OMEGA EPSILON (COE). CLOSEUP on a large, pink LED sign: "Los Diablos." WE HEAR loud noises of college kids' chants. Located at the end of Buckeye city in an undeveloped section.
PAN from the front of the house and ZOOM to the backyard; flashing multicolored lights from a distance as we zoom -
A fight cage centered in the yard; A set of 12 chairs sit opposite the cage door. A series of chairs full of college kids drinking alcohol sits to the left of the door; a makeshift full bar with tables to its right; a DJ booth with DJ MAXX to the southwest of the cage door.
Top '40s, techno, and dub-step music play.
A small group of sorority sisters block the backyard of hormone-raving males from entering.
SORORITY SISTER #1
Let's get this party started! Los Diablos now at your service! Yee-haw!!!
A slew of sorority sisters pour drinks, getting rowdy is every way possible as men pour into the club.
Dj MAXX
Los Diablos is the hottest party spot for Spring Break!
WE SEE ALEXA, an average girl in her mid-to-late 30s, ground and pounding the face of a crying cosplay fight girl, CHERRY, inside the fight cage.
Alexa
I'm not a crummy bartender in this town so I can be beat by losers like you!
DJ Maxx runs into the cage and pulls Alexa off of Cherry.
DJ MAXX
What are you doing? These are supposed to be playful and fun?
ALEXA
She's dressed to kill!
DJ MAXX
She's dressed as a video game character crazy chick!
ALEXA
Oh, well that video game sucks anyway.
DJ Maxx picks up Alexa and helps Cherry to her feet.
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR
Alexa walks over to the bar as DJ Maxx follows. She sits on his lap.
DJ MAXX
You seem a little edgy today?
ALEXA
I'm tired of this small town. No chance of getting out.
DJ MAXX
Well, maybe our luck will change. I made a phone call to my friend Ryan. Best I can do.
ALEXA
Why are men such pricks?
This catches the attention of MITCH BLACK, a discrete and nervous big burly man.
MITCH BLACK
Why are women such tramps?
ALEXA
Excuse me fatass? Do I know you?
MITCH BLACK
No and I wouldn't want to know your ugly ass.
ALEXA
I wouldn't want to know your fat ass if you were the last fat ass on earth.
MITCH BLACK
Really, how old are you?
ALEXA
Old enough to kick your ass.
She sees bottles of top shelve liquor all around Mitch.
ALEXA
Where'd you get all those top shelf liquors?
Mitch BROWN
I helped myself. It's a perk of being a government assassin. Federal jurisdiction.
ALEXA
Not at my bar dear. This is private property. That's five hundred dollars worth of liquor there easily. How do you plan to pay for it?
MITCH BLACK
Pay? Ha! You're lucky I don't shut this place down for tax evasion! And I know those little hot Latinas aren't legal.
ALEXA
You don't want me to tell boss lady Jacki?
Dj MAXX
Hey asshole just pay the lady.
RuSSELL BROWN
I'll tell you what. Stop getting your panties twisted all in a bunch. Here's a fifty for your trouble.
Mitch slams a fifty dollar bill on the bar.
Alexa
You prick. You owe me for that alcohol.
MITCH BLACK
Get it from your sugar daddy right there.
Dj MAXX
I'm not her sugar daddy, we're just friends.
MITCH BLACK
Yea that's what she said.
ALEXA
Max, go announce tonight is a special night. It's amateur night and anyone who wants a piece of me gets it. But first this fat ass is mine.
DJ Maxx returns to his booth as Mitch takes a couple sips -
MITCH BLACK
Sorry baby girl, gotta leave. I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover.
ALEXA
Fight me, beat me, and I'll erase your debt.
MITCH BLACK
Nah I think I'll just keep pissing you off sweetcakes.
ALEXA
But if I win, you'll have to marry me. I always wanted to know the secrets of the world's deadliest assassin.
MITCH BLACK
Now you've done gone bat-shit crazy. A wife is the last thing I need - 99 problems and you ain't one!
Dj MAXX
Ladies and gentlemen do we have a special night for you! That fatass Mitch there just stiffed my girl, Alexa, on a $500 bar tab.
Boos ensue and many patrons throw items at Mitch.
DJ MAXX
If he doesn't pay the boss will have Alexa's ass. Alexa has told me to make tonight amateur fight night! But before you hungry chicks get your shot - Alexa has an ultimatum for fat ass. Fight her. If he wins then his debt is paid. But if he loses, he has to put up with Alexa... as his wife, and well, I guess he gets to stiff her anyway!
The crowd roars and laughs.
MITCH BLACK
Well, now that you made it public. I look forward to kicking your ass.
Alexa
You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?
She extends out her hand.
ALEXA
I'll lead the way.
Mitch BROWN
Very well. It can't hurt that face of your any.
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - FIGHT CAGE
Alexa leads him into the cage and they distance themselves.
Dj maxx
Los Diablos is proud to present its first mixed fight here at its first Amateur Fight Night! Fat ass and crazy chick... Fight!
Mitch taunts her as she slowly stalks him.
MITCH BLACK
C'mon sweety, this I gotta see.
She throws a hard kick right kick to his chest then quickly follows a kick to his nuts and finally a series of muay-thai knees slams him to the ground as she holds his arm. She armbars him and decides she'll just ground and pound, taking his arm with her, for every punch she utters -
Alexa
Until death do us part!
DJ MAXX
(on mic)
Alexa, that's enough. You win. I called St. Elizabeth; she'll marry you guys tomorrow.
Alexa lifts Mitch's head off the ground by his shirt. He's moaning as his jaw is broken.
ALEXA
/>
Geez, dear, you'll wanna get that checked out. A broken jaw isn't fun. Don't worry I won't leave you - it's for better or worse, in good or bad health now.
RuSSELL BROWN
Kill me!
ALEXA
It'll be so much fun with you alive. I've got big plans for us.
She slams him to the ground, ferociously staring him down.
Dj maxx
(off mic)
Damn, friend-zoned the second time this month.
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - ESTABLISHING - NIGHT
TITLE: ONE YEAR LATER over WIDE SHOT OF -
WE SEE two twin sisters, DAISY and IVY, both with lockets their parents gave them around their necks, playfully fighting in a steel cage.
DJ MAXX
C'mon fans, we have Twins! Let's hear it for these girls!
Crowd grows louder. Cat calls increase.
FIGHT NIGHT BECOMES DEADLY
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR
WE SEE Alexa and her new husband, Mitch Black.
MITCH BLACK
What's wrong?
ALEXA
Ohio's Next Top Model Fashion Show.
MITCH BLACK
Oh yea? Go sign-up for it?
ALEXA
I'm too old.
MITCH BLACK
Nonsense, you're only 28.
ALEXA
Yeah, I guess so.
MITCH BLACK
You've always wanted to be the best. Now's your shot.
ALEXA
Here's yours.
She serves him a shot of liquor.
He watches the twins.
MITCH BLACK
That's a small cage.
ALEXA
It's to encourage more close combat and less running away.
ruSSELL BROWN
They're not even hitting! What a bunch of schmucks.
ALEXA
They can't. They're both part of the Fashion Show.
He turns again to the girls.
ruSSELL BROWN
Ironic. They're what, 21 years old?
ALEXA
19...
ruSSELL BROWN
Whatever. One of them is more sure to win.
ALEXA
Yep, they're both young and pretty. That's what's valuable nowadays.
He eyes her. Irritated.
ALEXA
Sorry.
He turns to the girls. Grimacing.
rUSSELL BROWN
They don't need double the chance. You've always wanted to be Ohio's top model? Here you go.
ALEXA
I can't ask one of them to step out of the fashion show!
MITCH BLACK
Who said anything about asking? The way I see it, this Fight Night is a joke. It needs some pizazz. Something to spice it up a little, turn it into a marketing machine.
ALEXA
I like where this is going.
MITCH BLACK
Nobody wants to see a couple girls rolling around and having fun. They want blood.
ALEXA
We should give it to them.
MITCH BLACK
Thanks to the state declaring martial law and giving control to the mob we can.
ALEXA
Exactly. We are now in control. They must comply or die. What are their odds?
MITCH BLACK
Daisy is the most cunning, the most skilled, the most vicious. Ivy doesn't have what it takes.
ALEXA
How far should they go to be the best?
MITCH BLACK
By being brutal, deceitful, merciless. Ohio's top model should be the one most willing to mow down their competition.
ALEXA
I've been waiting for this moment.
MITCH BLACK
The boss lady put you in charge, right?
ALEXA
Yep.
MITCH BLACK
Well then, let's offer these girls an opportunity they can't refuse!
Mitch signals a thumbs up to DJ Maxx.
DJ MAXX
Listen up everyone... Los Diablos is looking to buy a stake in Ohio's Next Top Model Fashion Show. We want to sponsor a model who most deserves it...
The crowd silences.
The twins cheer.
DJ MAXX
by fighting to the death in model combat.
The crowd chants "Kill! Kill her!"
MITCH BLACK
You sisters cut the girly crap out. Really fight. Show us who wants this the most.
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - FIGHT CAGE
The girls stand, face-to-face.
Ivy runs to the cage.
IVY
You can't do this! We're models not Amazons! We're sisters! We're bound by blood!
MITCH BLACK
Then spill some.
Daisy charges behind her with a knee to the back.
Ivy falls to the ground. She looks up at her sister.
IVY
You can't be serious right now? What would mom and dad think?
Daisy's face turns evil.
DAISY
That the better sister won.
Ivy stands up staring her sister down. Spits in her eye.
IVY
All of this just for a fashion show? Fine, you asked for it.
Ivy flirts with the crowd, blowing kisses. Cat calls resume.
She taunts her sister.
With a stare, Daisy winks, then whispers, "I love you."
Daisy close-kicks her in her lower abdomen, knocking her mid-air to the ground.
Daisy stirs the crowd. Chants of "Kill her."
Mitch throws in brass knuckles.
RusSELL BROWN
How bad do you want it?
WE SEE their eyes meet. Ivy jumps atop of Daisy slamming her brassfists into Daisy's face. Tons of blood leaks. Daisy grasps for breathe.
Ivy stands, raising her hand in victory.
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR
Alexa steps beside Mitch.
Alexa
Are you kidding me? See I told you this would happen. Daisy doesn't want her little sister to get hurt.
RuSSELL BROWN
Nothing means more to me than family and I respect that Daisy.
ALEXA
That's not what we agreed to? What kind of assassin are you, you said the best must be brutal.
MITCH BLACK
And she is my dear.
Mitch winks to Alexa. Turns to crowd -
RuSSELL BROWN
Family ties bond better with blood. Blood may be thicker with water but in this next fight that doesn't mean anything.
DaiSY
You twisted creep, I almost killed my own sister, spilling gallons of blood to satisfy your thirst.
MITCH BLACK
No my dear. You didn't spill any. Your sister on the other hand has spilled quite a lot. Alexa make way for the next fight.
He signals for Alexa to go over there.
Mitch BROWN
A true fight to the death.
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - FIGHT CAGE
Alexa enters. Giggling. Alexa grabs Ivy by the hair. Drags her to a corner.
Mitch blows a kiss to a whimpering Ivy.
Quickly Alexa backhands Daisy in the mouth.
Alexa boxes Daisy in the face. Daisy returns jabs.
This continues until Alexa knees Daisy in the face.
Holding her shoulder, she slams her fist into Daisy's back. Bones CRUNCH, BREAK.
Alexa throws her to the ground; Daisy's cowgirl hat drops beside Ivy. Daisy's nose is busted. Blood pours from her mouth.
The crowd ROARS.
Alexa puts the cowgirl hat on.
Daisy and Ivy's eyes meet as they both hold out their hands, touching each other's fingers.
Alexa takes off her shirt - sexy body. Crowd WOOS and WHISTLES.
Alexa signals the crowd. CHANTS "Kill her!"
Alexa rips both lockets from the girls' necks. Throws into the crowd.
Alexa
/>
Save it for the family reunion in Hell.
Alexa walks out of the cage by the set of 12 chairs.
A PILE OF CINDER BLOCKS, CHAIN, BARB-WIRE, HAMMER, SCREWDRIVER.
She grabs the big, thick and long chain. Walks back to Daisy. Ties a noose around her neck.
Ivy whispers "love you". Daisy begins to cry: "sorry."
Alexa kicks their hands away.
ALEXA
I gotta get back to work. Say Ivy, you should work for us. You ain't worth a shit as a fighter, we could use your sexy ass behind the bar though.
Ivy cold stares at her. Angered. She falls unconscious.
ALEXA
I'll take that as a yes. You start tomorrow. Don't be late.
Alexa throws the chain over the top of the door.
Exiting, with chain in hand, she hangs Daisy. Ties to nearby post.
Daisy grasps her last breath.
CHANTS: "This is awesome."
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR
Mitch waits.
ALEXA
Now, let's celebrate, what will it be?
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - FIGHT CAGE
Daisy hangs lifeless. Female spectators cringe. Crowd ROARS.
WIDE ANGLE overlooking straight down the fight cage; title in frame and well-focused, centered:
TITLE: GIRLFIGHT
FADE TO:
THE FASHION SHOW
INT. ALEXANDRA'S HOTEL ROOM - NEXT MORNING
Inside the convo. All out-of-state models stay here.
Inside the Presidential suite. ALEXANDRA, a prissy blonde rich girl stares into STEVE's eyes on a bed; an older man in his officer uniform.
STEVE
I really love you babygirl and I think it's time.
ALEXANDRA
Awe you're so sweet.
STEVE
Jade, be mine forever.
Alexandra slaps him. She rolls off the bed. He chases.
STEVE
Alexandra baby, C'mon I didn't mean it.
She slams herself against the door. Angered.
AlexANDRA
What would my mom say to one of her officers dating her daughter?
STEVE
Alexandra, baby, c'mon. Don't do that to me. That's my career you're talking about.
ALEXANDRA
At least you can call me by my name. I don't visit often. My boyfriend gets pretty possessive when I come back home.
STEVE
Aww babygirl, I really love you. I was thinking of a jade necklace I wanted to buy you, that's all.
ALEXANDRA
Jade? Am I not good enough for diamonds?
STEVE
Well, yeah babygirl, it's just diamonds take some time to save. Your mommy's not paying me a fortune here.
ALEXANDRA
Tell you what, I won't tell my mom one of her officers is getting a little too close to her pride and joy if you give me, say, $500 to forget about it now.
STEVE
What? Alexandra, c'mon, you know I can't give you that much. I have a wife and kids and...
